Book two in the Michael Neill series
It's been some time since my last post, but I felt it was time to give readers of my first book, 'Red Sky at Morning', an update on the second book in the Michael Neill series.
The manuscript is progressing nicely. I reached a milestone of sorts this weekend when my word count surpassed 70,000. 'Red Sky at Morning' was 80,000 and some change, and I'd like the second book to land somewhere in the 85,000 range, if not more. Ultimately, writing a compelling story is the primary focus, and combined with an appreciable word count, I think I can give my readers their money's worth.
I've already changed the title of the second book once, and while I've settled on a new name, it's not set in stone. For that reason, I'll wait to disclose the title until I'm absolutely sure. As I get closer to a conclusion to book two, I'm looking forward to the process of designing the front and back covers.
The Goodreads.com book giveaway for 'Red Sky at Morning' started July 12th, and will run through August 12th. To date, over 100 people have expressed interest and signed up for the contest to receive a copy. I'm very appreciative of everyone's interest, and if you've already got a copy, I truly hope you enjoy the story, the characters, the locales and the promise of more to come.
